Guest Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 This riddle contains four The first two are nearly the same for which you most likely have the first and because of this you must have the second. The last two are paradoxical opposites for if you have the third you have and don't have need of the fourth. If you have the third, well then you certainly have the first two. If you have the fourth you want the first, or at least the second. What are we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I thought about this through all of Rubber Soul and half of Sgt. Pepper, and got nothing. Then I started going through people's guesses... EDM mentioned "school," and then I thought: paper with writing on it blank paper pencil eraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 nothing yet, to clarify the parodox the third could be considered the opposite of the fourth. The third also has a need and simultaneously doesn't have a need for the fourth. i hope this isn't misleading :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
